Need advice on making an Elf Character.[Added SS in first post]

[Arhon]

I am trying to make an Elf female Mage(Vampire) character but cant manage to.

 

Anyone can give me some advice/tips on making an Elf female character?

 

I am going for Vampire Elf Female Mage.

 

Never managed to make a good one before but I really want to make one and play like that but every time I try to make one I somehow.... mess it up..

 

EDIT: I use Racemenu,SG Textures,Eyes of Beauty,CBBE,Citrus Head(Standalone version),Detailed Lips and KS Hairdos-HDT together with FaceLight-Plus(To be able to view my character in the dark) used this animation Lifelike Idle Animations

 

EDIT2:

Ok well I made some Screenshots of my Female Breton(Have to agree Guffel Bretons look awesome) Character as Mrjuggler asked, I have them in 3 different Angles(left,right,forward)

 

I will put them in spoilers. I took the SS with TCL1(to freeze camera and have camera free) command and my ENB enabled, but I feel there's a way to take closer and better SS but not sure how..

 

With hair:

 

 

 

Without hair:(I believe this helps find what's needed to change better?)

 

 

 

I made some adjustments in Sculpt mode on the ears and the area around them to make them blend in better, this was my first time using sculpt mode so I understand if the result isnt great(I welcome any kinds of feedback/advice).

 

 

Also I got a question, I am using BVFE should I use the sculpt mode to make the fangs before i turn my character vampire? or should i use it after? or is there no need for me to use sculpt mode as BVFE will add fangs by itself?

And what mods are you currently use to improve her? Racemenu or ECE? Any elven overhauls (Any overhauls in general)? What body type?

?? confused

 

Using Racemenu and CBBE, not using overhauls in General aside from companions overhaul (bijin warmaidens)

 

For Textures i am using SG Textures

Use race menu, choose Breton race, pick the pointy ears and make them as long/ large as you like. Then make the rest of the face^^

 

This is not fully a joke, I usually make characters like this. The vanilla elves are terrible and the breton race is imho the best base for pretty characters.

Tolkien elf... Like Legolas, Lord of the Rings bruh ;-; 

 

1. Use a custom race of choice (Because you know... Vanilla elves are yucky)

 

2. Use citrus head, ALWAYS: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/58989/?(If you don't know how to use the sculpt feature, do it, you'll get good at it and make beautiful character)

 

3. Appropriate hairstyle: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/70363/?(A bunch o hairstyles that can look pretty in an elf, HDT)

 

Make sure you get an eye pack, like the eyes of beauty. We can't really help you since we're not there to guide you... How about you try to do the best you can, then you can post screenshots and we'll tell you how to improve? (What to put on, shrink, inflate, yada yada yada)

No wonder I couldnt find the Citrus heads.... it has disabled endorsements..

 

As for the KS Haridos(HDT) I already have it alot of them look awesome on elfs.

 

For Eye pack I am using Eyes of Beauty.

 

I will definitely try what you said and post SS

 

Thanks for this help I will try it out in 2 hours since i am currently busy.

For Textures i am using SG Textures

 

 

By that I meant:

 

tolkien elves are just humans with the pointy ears, with the aryan features like light hairs and eyes and raised cheekbones , longer a bit chin

 

bethesda elves is what you see in the game, for many people they look ugly

Oh well.. Bethesda elves are.... really ugly... but if you do spent alot of time on 1 character you can manage to make them look great.

 

And that's where RaceMenu comes... that preset saving is god-sent. If we didnt had that I am pretty sure alot of people would go nuts.
